They already did. The bailout funneled tons of our money to just those folk. Man, I wish we had more than just one political party in this nation.

You know the time is right to take control, we gotta take offense against the status quo

Text from a history book, written sometime in the future:

During the period in which both parties were debating the health bill, they realized that they were very close to each other in ideology, in fact, so close, that in the following year, they merged into a single political party, known as the Republicrats. The new mascot became a donkey's ass sticking out of an elephant's ass.

Actually you're incorrect. Although a public option was probably the best plan in order to keep the insurance companies in check. This is actually better for us that want single-payer in many ways. By lowering the age of medicare it is the first step towards lowering it again and again, until we have a single-payer system, which is really what we should have anyway.

Yeah! Now, the Medicare that's held out of our checks and matched by our employers will increase, along with the mandatory health care excise tax and mandatory policis that everyone will have to buy. That's pure genius!!!!

How ass ****ed are we going to be with these clowns running the show??

Which is exactly why we need single-payer. It would bring the overall costs down....but you guys always want to fight against that.

Yeah, Medicare works so well and is so cost effective, that we need to just switch everyone to it. More brilliance!!
